TWESA In Community Development
Our Community Resource Centre is a hub where local residents come together for a variety of programs and activities. Volunteers play an active role here, engaging directly with community members and contributing to projects that match their interests and skills. In addition, our dedicated local team, who also serve on a voluntary basis, are always available to offer guidance and support throughout your stay. We maintain strong partnerships with other organizations in the area, giving our volunteers further opportunities to participate in diverse initiatives and broaden their impact.

My name is Jimmy Mzilahowa, and I founded TWESA in Community Development (CBO) in 2015. I currently serve as the Executive Director. Our secretariat is composed of a team of eight members, including three women, many of whom have backgrounds in social studies. We have a strong track record of hosting volunteers and ensuring their safety and well-being during their stay. In 2019, we moved into our newest office, providing an improved working space for both our staff and volunteers.

I loved being part of the organization and contributing to their mission. Jimmy and the team are committed to creating a the organization that feeds, educates, and empowers. Each day I saw the positive impact this project is having on the women and children here. I chose to stay with Mary and Louis as my Homestay family and I couldn't have been happier. Their hospitality, friendship, and amazing cooking were also a highlight for me. So glad I could be in Karonga and contribute to this project!

I had a fantastic time with Jimmy and his team at the organization. It's an incredible way to immerse yourself in local life and culture—every day I was learning and connecting in ways you simply can't as a tourist. the organization around Karonga is so welcoming and kind; from the children at the centre to the local members, everyone was extremely welcoming and generous to visitors. During my time there I particularly enjoyed helped with decorating the office. As a volunteer I was particularly encouraged to bring their own ideas and creativity to projects, which makes the experience feel collaborative.
